Well it depends on how you ride. I will be back to the Ken Self group next week Baldy!!

There are a few of us that push the pace, others cruise along at 25-30km/hr. Dome rides every Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 6am sharp out to Granton and back with a race up Ten Mile and maybe put the hammer down along the bike track.

The Ken Self rides are on Monday and Thursday nights, 6pm starting at the shop. The route is over Bonnet hill to Kingston beach and return. The average will depend on who turns up but in general I think its considered an easy pace. Sometimes the faster guys will get stuck into the hill and maybe a short sprint coming back to the casino. The reason it varies is its open to everyone, we have 14-16 yo boys to middle aged women with some new to bunches and some with experience. Im still very much a bunch noobie myself, still getting comfortable. Sorry I cant give you an accurate average but I ride to and from the ride from Claremont, usually at an easy warm up and warm down pace each way.

Maybe the faster people ride on another night? Ive got no idea, these ones are more than fast enough for me.

Wednesday nights the faster riders go out from Ken Self, Thursday nights usually there is A group and B group leaving at seperare times, 10mins of each other. A group is the faster riders, B the medium-slower riders.

Also Saturdays there used to be, unsure if still ongoing a social ride at 4pm from Ken Self, a chat, ride, you can have a go at Ten Mile and Cadburys, but it's open to everyone. Good way tot learn how to group ride, that's where I learnt!

BNA jersey, do a search should be a able to find a photo somewhere in Gen Discussion. I wear black bib knicks, white Giro Atmos helmet. Riding a FeltF5. The BNA jersey is Blue and white, Bicycle Network Australia accross it. If you come down into the transistion area you should find me.

well finally went and joined the Ken Self ride tonight, was great to ride in a bigger group after spending a lot of time on the bike alone or in 2-3 people. nice to push myself up the hills against some different people to. would join again next week if i wasnt working

Usual banter as there is. Ive been a Dome rider for about a year now, (Paul has ordered some new gear if your interested in putting in an order). I don't really see any other regular organised rides with as many riders in Hobart than as the Dome group. When most week days we get between 8-15 and on the weekends up to 25 on Saturdays. There will always be people talking $hit. And as we wear Dome gear, it's easy to point us out. Also...it should be known there are a few fast riders in the Dome group as well.
